To start off, congratulations to our winners of Sherlock's Cutest Cat Contest. We will look at giving this a try next year!
The winners will have their cat in the next Freckles the Bunny Series book (both a photo and illustrated).

Sherlock's Facebook page has received a lot of likes this year and for every 25 likes, we hold a free e-book contest. We seem to have had so many in the last while that we are now going to be having one for the whole summer! Want an idea on how it works? Take a look at the photo below. Winning is simple. Like the page, like the post (photo post on Facebook) and there you have it. Don't miss out on your chance to win!

I mentioned around a week ago that we were very pleased to be working with Majestic Waterfowl Sanctuary on finding homes for their animals. Here is a photo of Rilo and Ranger, two ducks who will be featured in Freckles the Bunny Series, Book # 5: Freckles and the Cost of Popularity.

Rilo and Ranger are not only going to have their photo in this next Freckles book but will be drawn in as well! Anastasia has already done a wonderful job with their cuteness!

Here are some other places that you can find Rilo and Ranger:
1. On our Freckles the Bunny Series website under Pets and Rescues, then under Rescue Links.
2. Pinterest (Freckles and Sherlock's accounts)
3. In the album entitled, "Rescue Animals in Books" in each of the fan pages.

We hope these two handsome ducks find forever homes together!
A special thanks to Majestic Waterfowl for going over some of our ducky facts and for providing us with some information for Sherlock's next book! Be sure to check out their website for useful waterfowl information including books!

Lastly, I am going to be slowly cutting out the info I am putting out on both pages. If you aren't a fan of Sherlock's fan page, you will begin to miss out on his updates and vice versa. Each page has it's own fan base, series, website and fan page. Please be sure to check them out as I don't want to bombard everyone with posts by doing both on each site/fan page. Thanks!
